can anybody tell me what this motor is from the numbers on the motor, v179241t03091g, these are the numbers stamped on the block pad in front of the passengers side head, the motor is supposed to be a 396 and its out of a 70 chevelle, which im sure isnt the original motor, but i would love to know what this came out of if anybody can help, thanks

V179241 is the partial VIN for the vehicle it came out of. V is the Pontiac, MI assembly plant and 179241 indicates it was the 79,241st vehicle off the production line that year (start is 100001). T0309IG is the engine code. T=Tonawanda engine assembly plant, 03= month of March, 09=9th day, IG=1965 to 1968 Chevrolet 396/325HP.

thank you
